Chats often contain customer data, internal notes, or unreleased copy. Redact before you export or share.
Common backup methods
- Manual copy: Good for single replies — paste into Notion, Docs, or local Markdown.
- Section export: For long threads, ask the model for a “full Markdown summary,” then copy it.
- Screenshots: Check whether the sidebar shows account info.
DeepSeek’s web UI changes over time. If official export or share links appear, prefer those and confirm whether links are public.
Pre-share redaction checklist
- [ ] Remove phone, email, government IDs
- [ ] Replace client/company names with “Company A” / “Client B”
- [ ] Remove API keys, passwords, internal URLs
- [ ] Confirm audience (public link vs. team-only)
Browser & account privacy

Clear local traces
- Browser settings → Privacy → clear site data for
chat.deepseek.com - Mobile: close the tab from the app switcher; clear WebView cache if needed

Team sharing habits

- External: avoid full transcripts; share human-reviewed excerpts only
